pseudo streaming doesn't work in html5 player

Hi,

when I use pseudo streaming (h264 streaming module for IIS 6), the HTML5 player can't fast forward anymore when the file isn't fully loaded. If I don't use pseudo streaming, flash skipping doesn't work.

Am I doing something wrong or do I need to add both files to the player?

samples:

regards,
Willem

HTML5 <video> does not need pseudo streaming, it does it out of the box.

I would provide a playlist with 2 sources, and set the primary variable to Flash, enabling pseudo streaming for the 1st source, but not for the 2nd.

thanks for the reply Ethan. I was hoping I could just use one source.
Where can I find a sample playlist like this?

We have a multiple sources demo here – http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/29248/sd-and-hd-qualities, but it is not exactly the same.

It would be something like this:

<div id="myElement"></div>
<script>
    jwplayer("myElement").setup({
      primary:"flash",
      playlist: [{
        image: "/uploads/myPoster.jpg",
        sources: [{
          file: "/uploads/myVideo.mp4",
          startparam: "starttime"
        },{
          file: "/uploads/myVideo2.mp4"
        }]
      }]
    });
</script>



That would make the 1st entry use pseudo streaming, the 2nd would not.

It looks like in HTML5 mode your web server is disregarding HTTP 1.1 range requests on the video file.
